the door and sides of the lodge. And when the boys walked as they played, and their feet

and it pressed down on the door, they were crying out in a long line. “Tt is very bad.

with them. Having gone with them, in spite of their desire to keep them, they threw 
them suddenly into the lake where they belonged. They reached home.
